Divine Questions And Answers

Q) Isn't a kiss to remove a Blight a little too easy?

A) A kiss is more than just the action thereof. A true kiss, indeed one strong enough to purify a Blight, must either be done truly out of love (as proven through role-playing) or the culmination of a wedding ceremony. Admittedly the rules are vague at best on this. Our mistake.

Q) When someone who does not have Faith uses the D8 for prayers, why does he also use the D8 for the results of a failed Prayer Check instead of the D12?

A) Having to use the D8 for both the Prayer and any failure as well (Table 43) greatly increases the risk and thus does not diminish or undervalue the true Classes and others with Faith who should indeed be able to accomplish far more.

Q) The way that the strengths of the Uru are written, it sounds as if only Dwarves can benefit from those blessings (Table 48), but is this truly the case?

A) Nor indeed. Anyone can benefit from any strength from Table 48. The way that is written, referring to 'Dwarves' rather than 'Characters', is simply because Dwarves most commonly use such strengths, and also to reflect how proud the Dwarves are, as they alone appreciate the Uru and thus their name is used when referring to power gained thereby.

Q) If a Half-Elf gains the Power of Faith, what Table does he use in Chapter VII?

A) The Half-Elf's choice of which world to stand in is made with his Character Class. Thus, if he chose a human Class, he would also follow human faith, using Table 45. If he chose an Elven Class, he would follow more the ways of the Immortals, thus using Table 46.

Q) How come it is more difficult for Druids to change form than for others with such faith?

A) Changing form is not a natural ability for a Druid, whereas the category of 'others' includes all sorts of strange folk, wild men and those who are beasts by nature, and thus are more likely to find changing form to be a natural act.
